Sore point. We are "in discussion" with them, and have made some progress, but they are not exactly falling over themselves to help. My view, which is shared by some, is that their model is only of use to permies and if they want to handle contractor CVs they need a second service, but I don't hold out any hope of the people on our side pushing for that to happen.
The other issue is that you have to agree to their totally unacceptable Ts&Cs before using the site. The answer to that is to click the "Accept" button then cheerfully ignore them and legalities be damned. And by far the best answer right now is to open your CV on their database, delete all the content and replace it with "Quick Brown Fox" nonsense (someone suggested "FOAD iProfiles" as a string...) and lock it against further editing. Personally as soon as Hays or one of the other misguided souls tell me they have created an iProfile for me, I immediately delete it. It's not like it will cost me work or anything.
I also asked a few of the more intelligent agencies about their service. Polite laughter was the average answer...
